Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day is kind of like “take your daughter/son/pet to work day”…but without the fear of distractions, messes, and complete destruction of your workplace. You may have to prepare for teasing from your co-workers if you’re the only one still holding on to a teddy bear. But don’t let that stop you from celebrating Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day. Your beloved teddy bear has been with you through good times and bad, so let him into your work life and show him off with pride!

Don’t have a teddy bear? Any other stuffed animal you have will do. Or you can use the occasion as an excuse to adopt a new teddy bear.
